    tour

    We had a magnificent tour. Thanks to Mustafa, our guide, who kindly and expertly explained the history and beauty of the Egyptian people, allowing us to visit the tombs of the kings and the temple of the queen, appreciating their splendor. We highly recommend booking the tour with this agency.

    We request a guide in...

    We requested a guide in Spanish as he gave us the option and in the booking confirmation we were told that we had to pay 1,000 Egyptian pounds in cash to the guide on the day of the tour. We decided to continue with the reservation but it is a bit ugly that it is not indicated when booking. It also stated specifically that there were no visits to shops and that is why we decided on this tour. As soon as he could the guide tried to sneak us a super special visit to a workshop where the stone is worked....after insisting several times with the workshop we told him that we did not want to go to any shop or workshop and we wanted to make the visit and return to the hotel and so we did but we return to the same, in the reservation nothing indicated visits to shops. It also indicated that there was water at our disposal during the visit... we had to buy it ourselves and only after the last stop and when he was preparing to take us to the "workshop" the guide gave us a bottle of water and some snacks. In addition the explanations were quite basic and some of the things he explained to us didn’t make sense or we knew directly that it wasn’t. As positive points we had enough free time to visit the tombs and the temple at our pace, the van and driver also adjusted as expected.

    Response from the operator: Dear valued customer Thank you for your detailed feedback. We truly appreciate you sharing your experience. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused regarding the guide’s language. Kindly note that visits to workshops or shops are optional and never compulsory to buy anything. We’ll make sure to review your comments with our team to improve our services. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the comfort of the vehicle and the flexibility during your visits. Best regards, Khaled

    Wonderful experience in Egypt

    The experience was incredible! Waleed is a wonderful guide. He taught us a lot of things, apart from what was included and from what other guides were saying to their groups. He was the best guide we’ve ever had, joking and smiling all the time. Without him, the entire experience wouldn’t have been the same.

    Response from the operator: Dear Valuable Guest, We can't thank you enough for writing such an amazing review and for spending your valuable time describing your adventure with us. You were truly exceptional guests to our travel agency and it was truly our pleasure to customize this trip for you. The Whole team of "Nile Holiday" wish you all the best of luck and we are waiting for your upcoming trip to the land of pharaohs with some special offers for you as you are no longer normal customers of our travel agency, but, you joined the list of our best friends. Wish you all the best of luck.

    Valley of the Kings & Hatshepsut Temple private Tour from Luxor: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.

    How much does Valley of the Kings & Hatshepsut Temple private Tour from Luxor cost?

    +

    Prices start at $25 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Luxor usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Valley of the Kings & Hatshepsut Temple private Tour from Luxor take?

    +

    Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Luxor is not rushed.

    Is Valley of the Kings & Hatshepsut Temple private Tour from Luxor worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 12 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Luxor, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Valley of the Kings & Hatshepsut Temple private Tour from Luxor?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Valley of the Kings & Hatshepsut Temple private Tour from Luxor suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Valley of the Kings & Hatshepsut Temple private Tour from Luxor?

    +

    Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Luxor can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Luxor and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Valley of the Kings & Hatshepsut Temple private Tour from Luxor start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Luxor within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Luxor?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Luxor experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private Half day Tour to West bank, Private Half Day Luxor Tour Valley of Kings & Queens, Hatshepsut, Full Day Tour of Luxor private. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Luxor?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Luxor?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Valley of the Kings & Hatshepsut Temple private Tour from Luxor?

    +

    Included: Pick up services from your place in Luxor and return; Entrance fees to all the mentioned sites; Bottled water during the tour; All service charges & taxes; and Private English-speaking Egyptologist guide. Not included: Any extras not mentioned in the itinerary; and Tipping. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Valley of the Kings & Hatshepsut Temple private Tour from Luxor include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 1 listed pickup location in and around Luxor. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Valley of the Kings & Hatshepsut Temple private Tour from Luxor offered in?

    +

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Valley of the Kings & Hatshepsut Temple private Tour from Luxor?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    What happens to Valley of the Kings & Hatshepsut Temple private Tour from Luxor if the weather is bad?
